EARLY DECISIONS MATTER

Understand the Investigation Before You Respond

A financial investigation can involve bank records, accounting systems, messages, contracts, and competing explanations of business decisions. The first step is to understand the allegation, the authority seeking information, and whether you are being contacted as a records holder, witness, subject, or potential defendant.

We review response deadlines, representation needs, and the evidence that bears on knowledge, intent, and authorization. When a company and an individual are both involved, their interests may differ. Our approach begins with a clear understanding of whom we represent and the decisions that client needs to make.

Tax-related criminal issues are addressed through our Criminal Tax Defense practice. Other retained criminal services remain available through Criminal Defense.
